Okay... I'm a bit tired of these AI shenanigans on HIVE... I suppose most of you are, especially those who are reading these lines... I love HIVE because of the people, so "removing" people from the equation makes no sense... AI doesn't need to socialize; humans do! We are social creatures (except for when we get older and try to avoid certain humans... here comes the GIF: "Ain't nobody got time for that" 馃槂)...

But before I go into this short rant post, I want to clarify my stance on AI... For me, AI is a tool; it's not a replacement for humans... It can help us in many different ways, but if it replaces us completely, that would be a problem... (In a Terminator way, problem... 馃槂) AI existed before, but recently, it has gotten better, and it's more powerful; that's true... I'm not against it, as that would be hypocritical... I use it every day, mostly as a substitute for Google, to find answers quickly, solutions, etc. I know that's just the tip of the iceberg of what AI can do...
Regarding my social interactions, I'm using Grammarly as a spelling checker, and occasionally, it helps with some grammar too... It is kind of an AI tool, but the words, the thought, are still mine; maybe the word order isn't... What's happening recently on HIVE is over the line... At least for me, and it's not even the AI issue, but a person issue...
Regarding posts, I don't care too much if it's AI content... I just skip it and don't upvote... A pure ignore... If everyone did it, people would stop using it... If part of the post is AI content, sometimes I do comment for the sake of the person, to try to label it, or even better, to avoid doing it... I didn't see an account on HIVE reaching a bigger audience that uses AI for content creation... Prove me wrong... It's not a rule; it's a reality...
From my point of view, AI comments are much worse... With posts, you don't "force" people to read your AI slop; when you leave comments, most of the time, authors read them... At least, I do that, and try to reply to every single comment...
A comment on the post doesn't have to be a masterpiece (neither does the blog post), and using AI for writing it is ridiculous, as I don't expect to find a "pretty comment", but more an "authentic comment"...
I made a prompt; the idea is still mine." - That's one of the excuse lines I heard the most... The idea is, but YOUR human side isn't... I would rather see your 1-sentence prompt than a novel written by AI... It's a waste of time... Speaking of time...
If you don't want to waste time writing a comment, why would I waste my time reading your AI slop?
Long story short... I found it very offensive when someone leaves an AI comment on my post... It's not respectful toward the author, and without respect, there is no healthy social communication or networking...
People come to a social network to socialize with other people, and not with an AI...
Wouldn't it be nice to have a social network where you know that a human is behind the keyboard? I suppose that will be the biggest issue in the (very near) future... Having blockchain as the foundation here, we could "market" ourselves as a proof-of-humans network... Perfect fit, isn't it?
Btw, all this has nothing to do with rewards, "protecting" the HIVE reward pool, or anything similar... It's about respect!
Thank you for your time.
